What i mean not that big, i'm talking in comparison to zelda, and 3d mario, where they are posed to break all records, because of how much they changed the formula. smash will be the same old, and it wont see a huge upgrade in graphics over smash wiiu, i thinking it won't even do 10 million. 

I highly doubt it will shake up the formula like BOTW/SMO did either but i dont really think it needs to.

Look at Mario Kart 8. The Switch release is just an updated port of the Wii U release with a few extras yet it will outsell the Wii U version in under a year and will easily sell 2-3x as much lifetime. Many of these extra sales are probably from people who owned a 3DS but not a Wii U so MK8D is a huge improvement over MK7.

A similar result is highly likely for Smash, it will outsell the Wii U release by the end of the year, will likely sell 2-3x as much lifetime and for 3DS owners who didnt own a Wii U it will be a huge leap forward.

mario kart is a much bigger franchise then smash. it will be interesting to see how strong smash is on one platform.
